Demystifying Slope-blur!

  • Were we, as artists, built to accept this eldritch knowledge (I always believe so, lets stare into the face of some math!)
    I always hate when I "learn" how something works by becoming able to predict it's results. I want more than that from myself and my students! This node is not very complicated to break down once we understand how a warp works.
    As always I'll also give some examples of use-cases for it.
    If you found this helpful, a like and especially a bell-hit would be greatly appreciated - let's get to the graphs!

    Great Video. I appreciate how you really break down how these nodes work and explain the thought process using them. These are the best Substance Designer videos I've found on UA-cam. Thanks for making these.

    I created several materials, but I still didn’t know exactly how nodes worked and how to work with them correctly. I'm always amazed at how you guys can keep it all in your head and create incredible textures at such speed! I still have a lot to learn to work at your level! I enjoy watching all your videos, keep going!!!

    I'm quite new to Substance Designer, as I only have about five hundred hours in it. But I am getting to the point where I'm starting to be able to make things on my own without too much help from tutorials. Anyway, Slope Blur has been my favourite node ever since I learned how to use it. And now I also know that it can also be used to simplify noises. Thank you. I have only ever used it for adding damage to things and I never knew that it moves from higher values to lower values, but that makes perfect sense.

    Hey man. This makes much more sense now! I always felt uncomfortable whenever I use a node and not "know" what it does. I don't want to make a habit of just connecting nodes here and there just because it gives the output I'm expecting without even knowing how it generated in the first place. I describe these graphs in my head as if I'm "coding with textures", so learning them well is a must for me. Even just knowing the thought of how it works technically is enough for me. Thank you and subbed!

    12:40 I have some leftover chicken soup in my fridge with a film growing on the top that has the exact same texture. How neat is that!

      Its funny how often you come across procedural stuff in nature (hint, nature is procedural!)

    Best video out there explaining the node it self. I was wondering, not too much, but a little bit, how that worked. Subbed straight at the end of the video 🎉

    Great! I've been using slope blur either in a formulaix way or "lemme see if this work"... never realy understand it. (great tumbnail btw)

    • @JohnnyHalcyon3D

      Totally get it - I don't think thats actually a bad mindset when you're exploring stuff, eventually it makes sense to get into it and really dig in

    I've used Slope Blur for ages, this was still very informative. The different use-cases were very useful for learning a few new things.
    My only suggestion would be - please get a new mic! It was cutting out in a few places

    • @JohnnyHalcyon3D
      @JohnnyHalcyon3D  Рік тому

      Hahaha, its awesome how much I'm hearing this! Yup the mic is actually my noise supression - If you notice, it happens when I swap graphs, must be a GPU thing, working a fix.
